Standard springs are made of carbon steel. We use stainless-steel springs for our GR and GRST oil seals made from FKM rubber. In some rare cases, an O-ring is even used as a spring element. Standard PTFE lip seals are not fitted with springs.
Advantages:
– Very good fitting stability avoiding pop-out of the seal
– Modern lip design provides low radial forces
– Superior radial stiffness, especially for very large diameters
– Cost effective for expensive elastomer materials
– Suitable for use in combination with axial seal
The auto head gasket, also known as the cylinder head gasket, is a critical component in the engine that seals the cylinder head to the engine block. This gasket plays a pivotal role in maintaining the combustion chamber's integrity, preventing the leakage of coolant, oil, or combustion gases. A properly functioning auto head gasket is essential for ensuring optimal engine performance, preventing overheating, and maintaining the overall efficiency of the engine.
Common lip materials available for use in our oil seals include:

Silicone oil seals, which are also called VMQ, have strong resistance to temperature, which ranges from -140 degrees Fahrenheit to 392 degrees Fahrenheit. They are also resistant to ozone, light, and harsh weather conditions. Silicone is frequently used in hydraulics and pneumatics, as well as in the food and medical industries. Due to the material’s transparency and flexibility, it’s commonly chosen for the manufacturing of o-rings, molded parts, and flat seals, as well as electrical insulators.
